Short Story

1.) Copy and paste this code: itlfcmd
2.) Go to the App Store on your phone (or click this link if using a computer).
3.) Search and download Ibotta.
4.) Paste the code in the referral box. This helps me, and you can share yours in the future to help yourself as well. :)

Long Story

Does it really work?
Yes.

I'm not on Ibotta's payroll, and this isn't one of those advertisement blog posts. I did try that once though. :) Never again.

I'm just a mom on a tight budget, and we seem to go through groceries at lightening speed. Recently, I came across an app called Checkout51. I was excited when I processed my first receipt and actually accumulated some rebates. Like Ibotta, you have to reach a $20 minimum savings before cashing it out. After two weeks, I currently have $3.25 in that account.

After I started using Checkout51, I heard about Ibotta on the radio and thought I would try it. I'm so glad I did. I was given $10 just for signing up, and with my first receipt, I had earned another $8. I was anxious to hit that $20 cashout minimum to see if it would work, so I shared my referral code on Facebook. With each referral, I get $5 added to my account when the new team member processes his or her first receipt. Within two days, I exceeded my minimum! :) That's pretty cool. I was able to cashout in the form of an electronic gift card which can be used online or in the store.

Needless to say, I'm stoked.

I'm never one to download apps. I literally use my phone for my work email, texting, and Facebook. That's it. Well, occasionally, I'll bust out the calculator since I can't do math, but that's about as far as I go. However, this is worth it to me. I'm feeding 3 kids and buying baby formula, diapers, and wipes constantly. School is starting; the girls are joining dance classes; there are tons of extra expenses on our shoulders. This $20 gift card means $20 worth of groceries to help get us through the week. THAT is awesome.

So yes. This app is worth it if you're wanting to save some money. Like most things in life, you get out of it what you put in. Join. Share your referral code. Build your team. Cash out those earnings.
